I love to iron and people think I'm crazy. They look at me with that look on their face as if I am odd. <br />To me, ironing is peaceful...literally ironing away life's wrinkles. <br />You and me, kindred souls we are! <br />love, Cheryl Whosyergurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08796459473501881680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-45723700147195223642013-07-08T14:40:26.354-05:002013-07-08T14:40:26.354-05:00I am amazed at the neatness of your tee towel (tee...I am amazed at the neatness of your tee towel (tee tail, tee tall -- had a rough time spelling that one) drawer. Mine is so crammed full the front is about to burst off. When I read about how ironing made you think of your mom, something went soft inside of me. Not sure why, but I thought it was cool and thought I'd mention it. idk Anyway, have a great day.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10641636435407438433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-32573481798810338642013-07-08T13:27:15.016-05:002013-07-08T13:27:15.016-05:00People with OCD do not get pleasure from ironing o...People with OCD do not get pleasure from ironing or anything they feel they have to do.

My sweet husband ironed all of his own clothes - I used to feel so sorry for him every time I saw him ironing (but not sorry enough to do it for him.) But I do understand YOUR reasons for doing it and liking it. FYI: the best dish towels on the planet are from Williams-Sonoma.

A million years ago, when I was a new mommy I even ironed diapers for a short while, until I read something that said that ironed cloth isn't as absorbent as non-ironed cloth.
